Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I was getting ready to tell my client they would have to choose one order for the taxonomy for the entire site. The ability to disable the custom order with ‘i_order_terms’=>’0’ is so clutch!

    Did exactly what it was built to do. Easy and effective.

    Just what I needed to manually organize a group of tags that appear on the page. Thanks for making this 🙂

    I can’t speak highly enough of this plugin. It works perfectly as if it was a native feature. No need for custom querying; it just works. If you need to be able to re-order tags, look no further! This plugin deserves many more downloads, as it’s much better than other re-orderers that I’ve seen.

    Thank you this was just what I needed. Most other plugins were about reordering posts… I needed to reorder the tags themselves. Much appreciated
